No-Rotation Woodchopper
Forget conventional sit-ups for a few weeks — skiing downhill, carving with your legs in side-to-side movements while facing your torso downward, demands more resistance. “We want to get the person on two feet as much as possible because that’s how they ski,” says Naperalsky. “And a lot of what the hip and core stabilizing muscles will do is to actually resist movement.”
TRY THIS: Find a cable machine and set the pulley down close to your ankles with a rope extension. Squat parallel to the machine with a straight torso. Stand and pull the weight up and across in a diagonal movement from your knee to the opposite shoulder so that your arms finish at a 90-degree angle in front of the opposite shoulder. Keeping your arms straight, return the weight back down to your knee in a slow, controlled movement. Do three sets of 10 on each side.
